Strain Energy Density as Failure Criterion for Quasi-Static Uni-axial Tensile Loading

Strain energy density is successfully used as criterion for failure assessment of brittle and quasi-brittle material behavior. This work investigates the possibility to use this method to predict the strength of V-notched specimens made of PMMA under static uniaxial tensile load. Samples are char...
